Chapter 350 Chapter Eighteen

Zhang Jiu was not the only one who was equally surprised. "Huh? Why are you here today? Didn't you agree to deliver the goods tomorrow?" Zhang Jiu heard his father ask in surprise. "Tomorrow my niece is getting married, so I came here early today. I should have told you in advance, but my niece is also strange. She used to be a good girl who could sing and dance, and she looked like a fairy, but For some reason, I have suddenly become dumb these few days. The family members are afraid that the in-laws who had previously agreed will change their minds, so they have to force the other party to get married quickly." The snake dealer shook his head and sighed.

Only then did Zhang Snake feel relieved, and said, "Hey, no one can avoid natural and man-made disasters. My son also suddenly got a strange disease. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have changed my career to sell snakes to you." The snake dealer laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. I would never have imagined that you, who have been raising snakes for so many years, would suddenly change to catching and selling snakes." Zhang Snake made a cup of tea for the snake dealer, and then took the stairs to get the woven bag from the beam.As he climbed up, he said: "It's hard to catch snakes these days, and there are fewer and fewer good species of snakes. I caught a bamboo leaf green at the door of my house a few days ago, and this snake is better. The other snakes are sold Not a few dollars."

The snake dealer took a sip of tea and asked with great interest: "Oh? I thought that snakes would go around the door when passing your house. How dare a bold snake come to your door? Isn't this a way of killing yourself? ?" The snake dealer stood up, looked into the back room, and asked in a low voice, "Your mother-in-law hasn't gotten up yet?" Zhang Snake replied while untying the rope hanging the woven bag: "Yes. She can sleep. How can she be like me? She must get up at a fixed time, and she can't fall asleep even if she closes her eyes." The snake dealer nodded and asked again, "Where's your son? Is he not at home?"

Zhang Snakeman stopped understanding the ropes, frowned and looked at the snake dealer who had known him for many years, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong with you? You don't usually ask so many questions? You always lower your head and give the snake to you." Just leave the money. Why is it a little strange today?" Zhang Snake looked again at the snake dealer's mouth, nose and eyes, as if he wanted to see something wrong with his face. The snake dealer was uncomfortable seeing him, so he waved his hand in front of his face, like chasing away mosquitoes. "What are you looking at? Are you afraid that I came out wearing a mask? Are you afraid that I won't pay for your snake?"

Zhang Snake grumbled a bit, and carried the woven bag down the stairs step by step.Zhang Jiu, who was eavesdropping in the back room, felt that the "da da" sound of the stairs seemed to step on his heart with every step. Later, Zhang Jiu said that his heart was in his throat at that time, and he even called Master Ma thousands of times in his heart to come quickly.He wished he could grow a pair of swift legs and rush directly to Huamei Village to catch grandpa in front of his father. When Zhang Jiu was in a hurry, grandma was nagging in front of grandpa that the water in the field hadn't been seen for a long time, and if he didn't go, he would miss the opportunity.She also said that all the housework was done by her alone, so she really couldn't spare.I could hear callouses on my eardrums.

Grandpa laughed all the time, and was pushed and pulled out of the house by grandma. Naturally, he had to put a hoe on grandpa's shoulder.In the end, grandma had to stand at the door and watch grandpa walk step by step towards the paddy field in the distance.That direction is just opposite to the direction of Zhang Jiu's home. Although the paddy fields are far away, when you come out from the back door and stand on the firewood bundles in front of the vegetable garden, you can barely see a comma-like figure busy at the edge of a small square field.During the autumn harvest, I just need to stand on the firewood and shout in that direction: "It's over, come back for dinner!" Immediately, I can see my grandfather waving the straw to me.After a while, the comma-sized figure gradually grew bigger until it walked in front of me.

Therefore, it is impossible for grandpa to escape from the paddy field and go to Zhang Jiu's house to save Zhuyeqing. Grandma was drying clothes by the front door, and from time to time asked me who was idle by the side to go to the back door to see if grandpa was still there.I just ran to the faggot and looked into the distance. In my heart, I actually hoped that the comma would disappear in a flash. Even so, I would not explain it to grandma.But every few minutes my grandma asked me to "watch the sentry", and the comma was still there firmly.It seems that grandpa is quite serious in his work, walking around the square field again and again.

Half an hour later, my grandma lost her temper and asked me, "Ask your grandpa to look at the water in the field. Why does it only take half an hour for him to go there? It takes such a long time to bring some water or plug the gap." Time? Liangzi, go and see again, is he not there anymore?" I pouted and said, "Grandma, I've been there more than ten times in the past half an hour. He's been there all the time. Or... shall I ask him to come back?" Grandma said: "I won't allow you to run out with him even after being called back. You are already in high school, and your studies are the most important thing. If you get into a good university, my face will also shine. Your grandpa's crooked ways are not worth learning, and you will be fine if you learn them." Working for others in vain. Come on, tell him to come back. It makes me look like the empress dowager ordered him to go into exile, and I won’t come back if I don’t call him!”

Once again I climbed on the faggot and called out in Grandpa's direction. "Hey, it's this Zhuyeqing. It has been lurking in my house for three or four years, and I haven't been able to catch it. I don't know how I was so lucky a few days ago. I happened to run into it. You took it away, I can rest easy." Zhang Snake let out a sigh of relief, threw the woven bag in front of the snake dealer, and clapped his hands.That Zhuyeqing fell painfully, twisted her body in the fine woven bag, her pupils shrunk into a line like a cat's. "This green bamboo leaf?" The snake dealer bent down to examine it carefully.Zhuyeqing spat out the scarlet snake letter at him.

The snake dealer shot Zhuyeqing's head, and said with a smile: "That's it? A snake like this can make you uneasy? Who would believe it? This female snake has a pretty good figure, if it grows into a human, Sure to charm a lot of young men." Zhang Sheren said indifferently: "Even if you are a bachelor, you would never dare to have such a woman." The snake dealer whistled to tease Zhu Yeqing, and said: "You can't say that, don't you think Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian are a good couple? Your son is not married yet, right? Or... leave this snake to your son It’s good to have fun.”
